At the end of the Warring States period, Prince Dan of the State of Yan was particularly resentful of the King of Qin and wanted to plot against the King of Qin, and asked Taifu Juwu what a good way to do, ju Wu said, "The western three Jin Dynasties, the southern Qi Chu, the northern and xiongnu can try to Qin." Crown Prince Dan did not adopt this suggestion of his, and at this time the Qin general Fan Yuqi offended the King of Qin and fled to the State of Yan, where the crown prince took him in.
Ju Wu also suggested that Fan Yu be sent to the Xiongnu not to offend the King of Qin. Prince Dan said that General Fan was a fugitive, how could he be driven out? I can only think of other ways. Prince Dan heard that Jing Ke of the Wei kingdom was a particularly capable person, and sent someone to send a generous gift to invite Jing Ke to come, and Prince Dan said to Jing Ke, "The King of Qin has captured the King of Han, and the south has fought the Chu State, and the north has beaten the Zhao State, they will certainly not be able to resist, not to mention that the Yan Kingdom is so small, where can it be stopped?" Warriors must be sent into Qin to kidnap the King of Qin, and if they cannot capture the King of Qin alive, they can also assassinate the King of Qin. "Prince Dan said that this warrior is you Jing Ke, and Jing Ke really agreed." Jing Ke said that killing the King of Qin was not an easy task, and even the face of the King of Qin could not be seen, why the plan to assassinate the King of Qin was successfully completed, it was necessary to take the head of the general Fan Yu of the Yan Kingdom who had offended the King of Qin, and the map of the State of Yan was dedicated to the King of Qin, and the king of Qin was assassinated when the map was presented. Crown Prince Dan could not bear to kill Fan Yu period, so Jing Ke went to see Fan Yu Period himself and told him that the purpose of his head was to kill the King of Qin, but fan Yu Period agreed, so he committed suicide.
Jing Ke took Fan Yu's human head and a map of the Yan kingdom and took the sharpest dagger to Xianyang. King Qin's favorite minister Meng Jia told Qin King Jing Ke to ask to see, Qin King was Daxi, immediately went to the court to receive Jing Ke, Jing Ke presented the map to the King of Qin, who knew that Tu Yi took out the dagger was also exposed, Jing Ke immediately pulled on the sleeve of the King of Qin, the King of Qin was horrified, immediately fled even the sleeve was broken, Jing Ke did the death chase, the King of Qin ran around the pillar in a circle, because the legal system of the Qin Dynasty, the ministers of culture and martial arts could not bring weapons, so there was no way, did not dare to go near Jing Ke, but the King of Qin was with a sword, and his ministers shouted "Wang Negative Sword, Negative Sword" 。 At this time, the King of Qin realized that he had a sword on his body, and immediately pulled it out and cut off Jing Ke's left leg, and Jing Ke could not stand up, so he took the dagger and hit it, but hit the pillar. Jing Ke knew that this matter had completely failed, and scolded that the main reason for today's failure was to capture the King of Qin alive and repay Prince Dan. The King of Qin was furious and dismembered Jing Ke forward. The famous Jingke King of Qin in history also ended in failure.
